017 Crisis
Liu Ziguang deftly dodged the arrows that came over, the first one crashed into the front row of the phalanx, a row of spears stabbed over, he swung his knife and slammed it, the huge power shocked the pikemen, and they couldn't hold the weapon, Liu Ziguang took the opportunity to sweep a knife, and the chain mail of several guards in front of him was cut, and the stomach was broken, and it was unbearable to see, and the blood shot into Liu Ziguang's face and body, and his clothes were red. The long knife was pinned to the last person's heart guard, Liu Ziguang stepped on the corpse of the person and dragged it hard, the long knife full of gaps was pulled out, dripping blood down the knife shaft, the surrounding guards were terrified, and hurriedly retreated, and there was a gap in the phalanx.
The three brothers were also killed, and the four of them picked up their weapons, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves in the phalanx, and everywhere they went, there was a rain of blood. The guards shrank their wings and put the four brothers under the muzzle of the crossbow, and there was a sound of mechanical transmission, and thick arrows shot over, but they were all cut down by Liu Ziguang in mid-air. The guards next to the crossbow were stunned.
The four of them temporarily attracted the firepower of the crossbow, and the slave army behind took the opportunity to rush up, in the end, there were many people, and the guards were rushed to pieces in an instant, and the guards who bullied the slaves in the past were now pressed to the ground by the slaves in groups of three or five, punching and kicking, slashing and stabbing with guns, and after a while, the establishment of the slave battalion guard of the Liguo Iron Works no longer existed.
The vengeful slaves howled like wolves, the long-lost aura of battle permeated the ranks, and the slaves, armed with captured weapons, rushed out of the camp gates.
Zamuhe snatched a horse from nowhere, stood in the saddle and ran at the front of the team with skillful riding skills, shouting at everyone: "Brothers, rush to the north gate together, rush out and be free!" "Liu Ziguang had already told him just now that there were official cavalry outside the south gate, and he couldn't go over to look for death. Only by rushing out of the north gate and fleeing north can we break away from the sphere of influence of the ironworks and the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
There were already two forces fighting in the city, but now that they suddenly joined a huge number of new forces, the situation was even more chaotic, many of the troops who were fighting were scattered, and the slave army snatched a lot of weapons, and followed their idol ---- super fierce general Liu Ziguang and went straight to the north gate.
Liu Ziguang slashed all the way, he was already covered in blood, and when he passed through the city, he saw the council building, and the towering council building was also a killing sound, a sword and sword shadow. He couldn't help but glance around, and then resolutely turned around and led a large group of slaves to the north gate.
The north gate is the top priority of the defense of the iron factory, because the north is the front line, and the front is less than 100 miles away from the border line of the Qing State. The fat meat, which has a huge output of weapons, has long been planned. Therefore, the defense of the north gate must have been very large, and there must have been a lot of fierce tactical weapons like crossbows.
As we got closer and closer to the north gate, a strong smell of blood permeated the air, making the silent castle tower even more eerie.
The north gate is close at hand, but no one appears, Liu Ziguang, who ran in the front, raised his right hand to signal the people behind him to stop, although there are thousands of these prisoners of war, but there are no middle and senior officers in them, centurion like Zamuhe is already considered a high rank, now everyone knows them, and Liu Ziguang, who is extremely brave in battle, took the initiative to assume the responsibility of command, and no one raised objections.
The chaotic team stopped under the order of the slaves of each team, and everyone raised their eyes to look at the tower at the north gate, "Look, there is blood on the horse road." A sharp-eyed slave shouted, and sure enough, there were traces of blood on the horse path above the wall on the left.
"Let's defend in a team, and a few people will come up with me to put the drawbridge in the city tower. Big brother, you take someone to open the city gate, and the drawbridge is lowered and killed. "I can't control that much at this juncture, let's get out of the city first. Liu Ziguang took Anthony and a few others to run along the road to the city wall to put the suspension bridge.
The city wall is in a mess, the corpses are lying horizontally, there are people who defend the iron acropolis, and there are also strong men wearing civilian clothes, check those strong men, the tiger's mouth is cocooned, the temples are inverted, obviously they are used to weapons, and they are strong in martial arts, the number of strong men is only a dozen people, but there are hundreds of iron guards lying around them, don't take a closer look, passing by the enemy building, Liu Ziguang looked sideways, there are a large number of iron guards with blue and gray faces and bleeding from the corners of their mouths in the enemy building, it seems that they were poisoned and died.
Although Liu Ziguang was puzzled in his heart, he still couldn't think about it, and hurriedly ran to the winch of the suspension bridge, there were more corpses around the winch, and there were stacks of layers, you can imagine the fierceness of the battle to snatch the winch, and when he came closer, he saw a bloody man lying under the winch, the helmet had fallen off, the armor on his body was also tattered, and the wounds on his body were difficult to count, and there were more than a dozen crossbow arrows inserted alone, Liu Ziguang knew this person, he was the guard of the North Gate, and he had seen this person when he inspected the city defense of the North Gate with the eldest lady, He is a loyal and strong martial arts man, and he is also very polite to Liu Ziguang, who was born as a slave.
The guard saw that it was Liu Ziguang and a few people dressed as slaves, and the hand holding the knife was still weakly released. "Manager Liu, hurry up and save the eldest lady, there are Qing spies in the inner house, they poisoned the brothers, and they also want to seize the pass and sacrifice the city." Every time the guard said a word, black blood flowed from his mouth, which was extremely difficult, and ......before he finished speaking, he tilted his head and never moved.
Anthony stepped forward and touched the guard's neck and said to Liu Ziguang, "It's dead." ”
"Leave half of the talk, you think it's a movie?" The angry Liu Ziguang shook his hands, there was a good show to watch, the officers and soldiers of Xuzhou Mansion, the rebels of the iron factory, the slave riot army, and now the people of the Qing State have been added, and there are people loyal to the eldest lady, a total of five kinds, and the forces of the Quartet are gathered in the Liguo Iron Factory.
This muddy water can not be waded, the slave army is the weakest, or hurry up, they hurriedly moved the winch, put the drawbridge down, and there was a rumbling sound of the gate opening under the city, the drawbridge just fell to the bank of the moat, the slaves rushed out with a shout, Zamuhe rushed out first, turned the horse and looked back at the city, "Second brother, fourth brother, the eagle can soar in the blue sky again, let's go." ”
Liu Ziguang shouted to the city: "You go first, I will catch up later, I still owe a favor in the city to repay!" Zamuhe laughed: "I owe the girl doll love, okay!" Affection! We're heading north, and you can follow the footsteps. After saying that, he rode his horse and chased the brigade.
Anthony also patted Liu Ziguang's shoulder ambiguously and said, "The woman you like will grab it and take it with you." We will wait for you. After saying that, he took the people down to the city.
Liu Ziguang stood on the city wall and looked back at the iron factory city, black smoke rose everywhere, the sound of killing shook the sky, the south gate seemed to have begun to attack the city, the workers of the iron factory also copied the semi-finished weapons in the workshop to guard their own houses, there were sporadic battles everywhere, and the most fierce place was the council building in the middle of the city.
"Miss, I'm here." Liu Ziguang took a deep breath and went straight to the direction of the council building.
In the council building, the two sides are facing each other, Yu Hualong and the eldest lady both know the truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, so the forces of the two parties are entangled and keep fighting, and the inner house guards brought by the second lady are only a small half of the manpower, because some of them were taken out by Hu Xianjue to search for Liu Ziguang, and some of them stayed to guard the inner house. This part of the guards under the leadership of Song Qingfeng and Yu Hualong's elite guards fought fiercely, both sides were damaged, and now Yu Hualong's rebels were expelled from the council building and surrounded downstairs.
Yu Hualong sat in the gatehouse below the council building, and the heralds and flag officers were running around like a marquee, constantly reporting all kinds of military information.
"Report ..... Capture the inner house. ”
"Report ...... Capture of the steelmaking plant. ”
"The armory of the Lian Feng has not been able to attack for a long time, and our army has suffered heavy casualties."
"Report ...... The battle continued at the South Gate. ”
"Report ..... The slave camp rioted, and all the guards were killed. ”
"Report ...... The north gate moved, and the slaves broke through the north gate. ”
Listening to the various news that came one after another, Yu Hualong's calm face did not change, the form in the city was already clear, this gang of waste in Xuzhou Mansion did not bring siege equipment, it was purely to pick up cheap and grab credit, and when he won the iron factory, his own strength was almost consumed, in case Huang Zhifu suddenly attacked, it would be a little troublesome, and those slaves, who took advantage of the fire to rob and escape from the city, I really don't know what the defenders of the north gate are doing, but it's okay, I don't have to send people to deal with them.
"Come on, call me and tell the people upstairs to surrender, or I'm going to attack with fire." Yu Hualong ordered. A soldier with a loud voice walked up to the building and shouted: "The people upstairs have listened! Hurry up and surrender, as soon as the fire ballista arrives, the council building will be on fire, but the jade will be burned. ”
The soldiers were not lying, the ten crossbows were already in place, the arrows with the pine oil in front of them were also carried in boxes, and the rebels lit the lanterns at the launch ports of the crossbows, so that each arrow fired automatically ignited the pine oil on the head, becoming a veritable rocket.
There are also a lot of wooden furniture, decorations of various flammable fabrics, curtains, and carpets in the brick and wood structure of the council building, and it will be difficult to put out the fire once it breaks out. The secret passage back to the inner house has also been sealed, and now I can only resist desperately, counting on reinforcements from outside to rescue, "Daddy doesn't know what's going on, the sound of fighting outside seems to be much smaller, it seems that the rebels have taken control of the situation, or I'm too young to fight these old foxes." The eldest lady was anxious.
At this moment, the supply of heating was also stopped, the cold wind poured into the room through the broken window, and the people in satin clothes shivered with cold, and a few people who were not determined to hear the shouts below, their faces turned pale with fright, and they looked at the eldest lady with blank eyes, hoping that the eldest lady would quickly come up with a clever plan.
Song Qingfeng put the bloodstained sword back into his waist, and very gentlemanly took off his white fox fur collar cloak, and wanted to put it on the eldest lady, but was politely refused, "Open all the gas pipes, seal the windows, and call Yu Hualong to negotiate!" The eldest lady said categorically.
The iron works were full of lighting and gas pipes for heating, and this by-product of steelmaking and coking was fully utilized, gathering in a small space, and the air could form an explosive gas, and the eldest lady knew this. She's ready to break the boat.
"When Yu Hualong comes up, the space of the council building is limited, he will definitely not bring too many people, and when the time comes, he will use the explosion of the council building to blackmail him, and then call on the blinded iron guards to rise up and quell the rebellion. There may still be a chance of winning. Song Shaoxia, this time it really bothered you, and you still need to use your martial arts to hold Yu Hualong hostage, the little woman thanked you first. The eldest lady said lightly.
Hearing such a resolute strategy, everyone looked at each other, Yang Meng, Lu Gaozhi and other guards set their eyes on Song Qingfeng, Song Qingfeng gave them a calm look, and replied with a smile: "Song Mouwei is the eldest lady. ”
This chick finally realized my importance, Song Qingfeng thought proudly, he was not afraid of the heavy encirclement outside, firstly, he had the strength to kill him, and secondly, as long as he waited a little longer, the owner of the ironworks would probably change again.
Yu Hualong heard the reply from upstairs, smiled slightly, what tricks did the little girl think of again, but all tricks are just jokes in front of strength, I just got the battle report, the south gate has been captured, the garrison cavalry of Xuzhou Mansion is about to enter the city, half of the iron factory has also entered my hands, and there are three or four layers of elite soldiers surrounded by people downstairs, I am afraid of you? Go and go, the old man can't fall into majesty in front of the little girl.
Yu Hualong ordered thirty good hands to follow him and entered the council building.
